Mariah Belly Dancing 1996


Roy G Biv Gallery, Columbus, Ohio 1996

Visual and Performing Artist Maria Parasson (aka MARIAH) of Ohio, USA is of Greek/Italian heritage. She began studying Bellydance while a student at Ohio University in Athens, OH from 1986-1989. There she studied Dance, Art History, and Fine Art. After graduating from OU with a BFA, Mariah moved to Columbus Ohio to pursue her art career and dance studies. She studied and worked for Habeeba's Dance of the Arts from 1991-2007. Mariah was Habeeba's lead Bellydance instructor from 1997-2007.

In this video Mariah had only been performing professionally for a couple of years. Still what we call in the dance industry "a baby dancer"! Mariah's love of Belly Dance or Danse Orientale began as a young girl watching bellydancers at family parties and weddings. She knew then that she wanted to grow up to be a professional dancer.

Today Mariah is a Master Dance Instructor, Choreographer, and Multi-Award-Winning Belly Dance Performing Artist. She opened Belly Dance by Mariah Studio in 2010. Classes are offered to students of all levels, body types, and ages at her downtown Canton, OH Arts District studio. She also teaches specialty classes in Naples, Florida several weeks out of the year as well as bellydance workshops worldwide. Teaching literally thousands of students over the course of 20 years, Mariah is thrilled to reach even more student online!
